A Change of Seasons

Done for the A Change of Seasons contest held by :

"the object is to create an image that represents the changing of the summer season into the fall season."

I thought of a mermaid, symbol of the sea and then summer and hot weather, watching the first leaves falling. I tried to set the atmosphere of a sunset, both because imo it fitted the color scheme and mostly because the sun setting down may also recall the nature going to sleep and prepare for a new year.

If you find the background is a bit blurry it's because I had to resample it to fit my original image (4000x3000) and it lost a bit of quality. I resized it to minimize the effects

Mermaid is Daveigh by Thorne&Sarsa with Kione hair & Coloration Kione textures. Mermaid tail is with Sirens texture by Sarsa; background is the Rock by Deadhead, Rocks in the foreground are Rocks and Arches by Designfera and falling leaves are brushes done by me.

I hope you all like it!
